War Is Raging
by Barbara Philbrook

War is raging, we see battles being enacted.
We needn't worry justice will be exacted.

We must not be swayed by the things we see.
We must keep our eyes on Jesus continually.

We can not stand on our own personal strength,
in His bid for control Satan will go to great length.

We must remember to trust only God above,
no human can help us despite their love.

Pure intentions, admiration, love or awe,
none of these are sufficient in spiritual war.

Put on the armor of God and surrender to Him every day.
That is how you will win, it is the only way.

Things will happen which we don't understand.
We needn't worry, God has us in the palm of His hand.

You may feel attacked at one time or another,
by one whom you thought of as your Christian brother.

You may hurt and feel broken hearted,
and no matter how much you search, not know how it started.

Going over it again and again in your head,
not able to sleep while you toss around in bed.

You know your own heart and your intentions,
and if you are walking with God as the Bible mentions.

If you are led by God and letting Him be in control,
it just means Satan is trying win your soul.

War is raging but we needn't feel any fear,
because God is in control and the end is very near!
